KatyQuilts

No dollhouse progress this week. I did get my Almost Amish quilt completely unquilted.

Sadly, I have a square in the middle that I snagged with my seam ripper so I have some work to do before I can requilt it.

I changed my mind about the backing as well. I think this batik will work well.

E1 and E2 each spent the night on consecutive nights this week.

I love that they get so excited to come!

I basted the vintage hour glass top for hand quilting.

Still enjoying my sweet puppies! We have had Willy for just a week, but already I can’t imagine not having him.

Have a great day!

I fully expected to have an awesome finish to share today. Lori at Humble Quilts came out with the last clue for the Almost Amish quilt along and I got busy! I finished the top and loved it!

I loaded it up on the long arm and got quilting.

I only had about four lines to go, when my thread broke. That was when I realized that even though my stitches looked perfect on top, the back was a hot mess.

It isn’t easy to see and I couldn’t tell when I looked at it while it was on the frame. It was only when I ran my hand over it that I could feel it.

See those loops? Ugh. They are everywhere on the back. I took it off the frame and it will take days to rip out all of the quilting and start over.

Ugh.

I wanted to cry, but that won’t help. Time to get busy with the seam ripper.

Have a great weekend!

I decided the little quilt I showed yesterday was the perfect project for hand quilting.

Unstitching the top from the back was a good project while watching the puppies outside.

Looks like it was hand stitched with huge stitches and then someone went back and machine stitched.

I hope to decide on my quilting plan and get it basted today.

Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments on our new pup, Willy. He and Winslow are getting along well.

So far, training is going well. Have a great day!
